Blue Screen
volume low
static hum

you sleep then you're
awake

walking the line
between

consciousness
and dreaming

Our words are monkeys,
swinging from branch to
branch, thrumming
at the barks of mind.

We become clumsy *****,
laying them as eggs,
into the highest tide.

And with oars, we
send them out
to breathe longer,
within the waves.

My empty surroundings
My bare shabby walls
All gets forgotten
When my true love calls
The roof keeps on leaking
Bound by brick over brick
Still I sit and admire
How much the two of us click
Ash in the fireplace
Mud on the floor
You know you’re the one
That I sure adore
Holes in the staircase
My plumbings caput
But I’d walk with no feet
Just to be kept afoot
where the moon glistens every night
different shades of colour
where the stars dance and the sun would burst
where humans can breathe underwater
and fly though the fresh air
where scars heal as soon as you were hurt
